PLEASE explain why they are depressing. i love reading your analysis :')

ahh ok ur wish is my command!!! i'm gonna put it all under the cut tho, just so it isn't too long <3!!

miss missing you- miss missing u is so depressing to me for multiple reasons, the easiest one to explain being the music vid. To go deeper than that, the song was originally something Patrick started to write for solo music but thought it sounded like a fob song, meaning that the lyrics are a mish-mash of patrick's voice AND pete's which is like . ah. and then its my belief that the song is Very Very much so a song about the hiatus like talking about missing the feeling of missing someone? on the album right after the hiatus? feels very hiatus-y to me! and emotionally destroys me! it's just disguised as a romance-y breakup song. that aside, the lyrics themselves are just so sad, "sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger / the person that you take a bullet for is behind the trigger / oh, we're fading fast" is just . very obviously sad . and then the 2nd pre-chorus "I will sing to you every day / If it will take away the pain / Oh, and I've heard you got it, got it so bad / 'Cause I am the best you'll never have" strikes me as particularly devastating bc the whole song is painted as like this person is finally moving on from this relationship but clearly still thinks abt whomever they left and still Misses that person in a way . they would Still sing to them every day to make them happy!!! they WERE their picket fence i mean . feelings like that don't vanish!!! it fucks me up!

fourth of july- fourth of july is sad for similar reasons to mmy, i think. it's about a fleeting relationship, possibly a summer fling, that is obviously over at the time of the song. the relationship was just a 'what-if', though, that the narrator obviously felt Deeper about than the other half did. and the narrator knows this, questioning what that summer meant to the other person and Admitting that they miss their company, as if that's a bad thing to be honest about. but then the narrator goes back and says they didn't mean it, they were just being dumb and young and well, it was just a fling! it wasn't meant to be! the narrator says they'd never miss them, but it looks they were wrong. the second verse flips it and the narrator suddenly sounds Very cocky, talking about how the Other person must miss them and need them bc the narrator is holy water and stuck in their ex's head. the narrator Knows the other person cried about the relationship ending. But once again doubles back and says it means nothing UNTIL the bridge where they say "I wish I'd known how much you loved me / I wish I cared enough to know / I'm sorry every song's about you / The torture of small talk with someone you used to love", showing that they wonder if they were actually holy water to the other, that they regret not making feelings clear before and feel bad for writing about them. the entire song is just. my god. my fucking god i don't have words. the relationship was fleeting and yet meant the world to the speaker. thats so sad.

favorite record- fav record is awfully depressing to me bc it follows similar themes as the last two? the first verse is all a question, right? the narrator is asking if the other person remembers driving under purple skies, listening to rancid, if they remember when the narrator confessed to them and they danced. it seems like a lovely recollection of a love confession that the narrator remembers SO well, every detail is laid out. but then the chorus reveals that maybe the confession didn't go so well, where the narrator is talking about the person in the past-tense, you WERE the song stuck in my head, every song that i ever LOVED... it paints a very sad picture of the outcome of that relationship. the narrator felt so strongly for this person and loved them so much, associated them with all their favorite music and it just... didn't work. The second verse is super sad too bc they then say, 'i Cant remember just how to Forget' which is like... the opposite message miss missing you is sending. The narrator can't remember how to forget this person, or how they danced and how they were asked how they were doing by their old love as if they Know their doing better now or something? but the narrator isn't. they still miss them. All of that is just so... the picture it paints is so sad. Especially the lyric 'you can get what you want but its never enough'... the relationship might've worked for a bit, as the narrator wanted. but it didn't work.

heaven's gate- so this is like fobs most romantic song but also simultaneously SO sad bc . the whole idea of the song is that the narrator is so in love with this person that they want to be with them forever, even after death. And they're convinced their lover will make it into heaven no problem, but are equally as sure they themselves won't get it. No, they'll have to sneak in, they want their lover to sneak them in so they can be together. but the narrator is just so sure they themselves are heaven bound but are SO in love, their lover is just the one habit they can't kick, after all. It's sad and romantic all twisted up in such a beautiful package, thinking about the song for too long gives me brain damage <3

jet pack blues- to me this song is really like . about one side of the relationship dying which is off the bat So fucking sad ok so go w me here: the narrator is dealing with grief of their partner dying (could be considered a real or metaphorical death of the relationship idk), they're walking around the city thinking of their love and the relationship... if the relationship was real, if they were ever in love or just lonely, how they remember the person begging for them to come back n now it's just all gone. their the last one their love will ever remember. "Don't you remember how we used to split a drink / it never mattered what it was, i think / our heads were just that close / the sweetness never lasts you know" is very retrospective, very much telling that the narrator has a lot of regrets in the relationship and is aware now that the sweetness of a new relationship is fleeting. So fuckin sad.

just one yesterday- this is the most obvious sad one i think? the entire song is just the narrator having guilt and regret about Something, and wishing they could just go backwards in time to relive Before things went wrong, before the person they're singing about thought they were bad news which they Know! they know they're bad news but still would save everything for the person they're singing to, and just... wishes so deeply they could go back and have just one more yesterday. i think the bridge might very well be the Other person singing to the narrator, saying they could spill everything they know about the narrator but that it'd be devastating to them and their reputation. clearly this is about a relationship that ended poorly, with one person resenting the other while the narrator recognizes what they did was wrong and wants it all back- but will never get it back. ow <3
